"More than a polemic against work (though it is a very good one)
The Tricking Hour is a meditation on what it means to process the
world through your body; to feel life-love, loss, pain, ecstasy-to
the fullest extent possible, all while knowing that your body is
not (only) yours to control, that people with immense power get to
dictate how you use your body, and thus how you experience the
world. Silt writes compellingly about the issues facing sex
workers, but their lessons about autonomy and pleasure under
capitalism apply to all of us." - P.E. Moskowitz
"These essays constitute a carefully and beautifully formed nebula
of revolutionary thought and praxis. Silt's gorgeous synthesis is
led by both righteous anger and gestures of deep care, born and
fostered in spaces, booths, and backrooms both inconspicuous and
flatly public. To encounter this missive is to encounter one of the
truest manifestations of learn- ing and living life past capital,
past work's totaling reach, and into a life centered around love."
- Ryan Skrabalak
